Rossville United Methodist Church news of 1959
Description
August 27, 1959: Church Addition Started--The foundation was poured for the new Sunday School addition at Rossville Methodist Church this week. Labor has been donated by church members. The addition which is to be 32 x 60 will include space for four classrooms. It will be attached to the church on the west side and will also have an outside entrance.
-----------------------------
October 8, 1959: The Methodists have made nice progress the last few days on the new Sunday School addition to the church. The wet weather brought a number of farmers in to work on Tuesday and Wednesday to put the framing material in place. This may sound like a “believe it or not” - and it is - the largest nail ever used in constructing a building at Rossville will be used by the Rossville Methodist Church.
-----------------------------
November 5, 1959: Thirty-one members of the Youth Group solicited the town for CROP Saturday afternoon and received $85.30. The response was very gratifying to the youth and they would like to express their thanks to all who gave to this worthy cause.
Approximately 45 members and guests of the group had a Halloween party at the community building Sunday evening. Everyone arrived in costume and the judges finally decided on the fol¬lowing winners: ugliest, Carla Pasch; funniest, Doug Kelsey; most unusual, Barton Larson. Mrs. Robert Boughton assisted with the party and Mrs. Don Jones served as fortune teller.
-------------------------------
October 1, 1959: The Progressive Class of the Rossville Methodist Church will act as host to a wiener roast Sunday evening at the Ira Williams farm northeast of Rossville. All friends of the church are cordially invited to attend. The group will meet at the church at 6:00 p.m. and proceed in a caravan to the Williams farm where a camp fire will be set up in pasture. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun. Each family should bring wieners and buns.
